Mood Indigo 2013


Mood Indigo     This film is based on a novel written by Boris Vian, he is also passionate about jazz music and he is a singer.  Colin is a wealthy bachelor working on developing a
cocktail-making piano called a pianocktail.  His chef Nicolas makes complex wonderful meals for Colin.  Colin finds out his best friend Chick has a new American girlfriend.  He attends a friend’s party hoping he will find love himself.  He meets Chloe and while dancing to Duke Ellington they find themselves falling in love.  Unfortunately, Chloe becomes ill with an unusual illness.  A lotus flower begins to grow in her lungs?
     I could not get interested in this movie.  Everything is in unreal colors and there are unreal events.  It switches to black and white when Chloe becomes sick.  Colin’s house begins to decay and his own pet mouse abandons him.  The movie yells everything is fine but we know it can't be?  2* (I didn’t like this movie)

94 min, Comedy directed by Michel Gondry with Romain Duris, Audrey Tautou, Gad Elmaleh, Omar Sly, Aissa Maiga, Charlotte Le Bon, Sacha Bourdo.

Note:  Imdb 6.5 out of 10, 63% critic 52% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Netflix 2 1/2*, Roger Ebert 2 1/2*.
Special Note:  The title in French is L'ecume des jours and this movie was filmed in Paris, France.
